Set within the crofting township of Sollas on the Isle of North Uist, Sleatabhal sits quietly in open ground, where the land stretches wide and the pace of life follows weather rather than clocks.
This part of the island is defined by space, light, and proximity to the Atlantic, with beaches, dunes, and low hills shaping both the view and the daily rhythm.
The house itself is a traditional stone built former croft house, carefully renovated to retain its character while offering a bright, contemporary interior that feels calm and deliberate.
From the outside it remains grounded and modest, while inside it opens into a light filled living space that immediately feels welcoming rather than showy.
The ground floor has been opened up to create a generous open plan room, where a wood burning stove anchors the living area and the kitchen and dining space sit comfortably alongside it.
Windows draw in natural light from multiple directions, reinforcing the sense of connection between the house and its surroundings.
Practical spaces, including a utility room and shower room, sit neatly to the rear, supporting everyday living without intruding on the main space.
Upstairs, the layout remains simple and well judged, with two double bedrooms and an additional smaller room that lends itself naturally to use as a study, nursery, or dressing space.
Roof windows and low ceilings create a sense of shelter without closing the house in, maintaining light while adding intimacy.
The property sits within garden ground extending to around 0.4 acre, accessed by a gravel drive from the township road and laid mainly to lawn.
To the rear, a stone ruin offers scope for further development or restoration, subject to the appropriate consents, adding a quiet layer of future potential rather than obligation.
Sollas itself is a traditional crofting community, with local facilities close at hand and Lochmaddy around nine miles away providing wider services and ferry connections to Skye.
Several beaches lie within walking distance, each offering a different aspect of the coast and an ever changing backdrop of sea, sky, and wildlife.
The house has been run successfully as a holiday let, though it reads just as naturally as a permanent home for those drawn to island living without compromise.
This is a place for someone who values quiet, space, and authenticity, and who understands that homes like this offer more through what they allow you to leave behind than what they try to impress you with.
The property is being marketed by Skye Property Centre, with full details, photographs, and viewing information available through the official listing.
